For some time, trying to watch videos on Invidious or Freetube has been a pain. It has been oscillating day by day but now I get like 3 seconds of video for 8 seconds of loading time

Some days ago I saw a notice on top of the webpage in some Invidious instances stating something like "Youtube is trying to impede frontends"

Today i tried going to youtube.com and enabling some requests on uBO and videos loading freakin' fast

Is anyone getting the same?

FreeTube with local API works good. Same with NewPipe

yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that's why

Yeah Freetube has been problem-free for me so far. I just used it an hour ago. Worked great.

I also regularly JDownloader > Plex for longer form video podcast stuff I like watching at the gym. Also no issues there.
